I am in the midst of reading "My Life So Far" by Jane Fonda. It is a gift from my very dear cousin for my 26th birthday. I must say, this biography is a page-turner and never would I thought that Jane Fonda is really an accomplished woman.
Reading the story of her life is not only entertaining but also serves as learning lessons to many of us. She is indeed honest in her writings and her journey towards womanhood striked me the most. She talked alot about her girlhood, her insecurities, her accidental career in films, her activisms, her intimate encounters and more, which made me realise that, afterall, we human beings have our mistakes made, hurtful words uttered, actions misunderstood and intentions misinterpreted.
The fact that Jane Fonda could look back at her life and share it with us, makes me feel that she belongs to the enlightened few who have realised that, despite all the downfalls in life, living life is indeed enjoyable if we can all look at the brighter side of things. Sometimes, I call it, the big picture of life. I wonder when I will see my big picture...
